Who Are We?
Selah Place understands the sacred role of motherhood and believes that every woman, as a cherished creation of God, deserves our care and support.
We provide shelter, assistance, and a community to women and their families during difficult times. Our aim is to create a safe place where mothers can regain hope while embracing the transformative power of God's love.
We envision a future where every woman we assist overcomes challenges and flourishes in her role as a mother, living a life filled with purpose and fulfillment.
The Program
Serving Women and their children in need in Winnipeg Manitoba and surrounding
-
Women must be 18 or older. They must be pregnant, or in early parenting stages.
Must be alcohol/drug-free for at least 6 months before residency.
-
Women along with their children are placed in either an independent living unit or a co-living house in long-term transitional housing.
We do not provide 24/7 onsite care, there is, however, After Hours staff available on call 24/7 for emergencies.
-
We offer a secure environment where women and children can reside, engage in play, and rest peacefully.
Our dedicated staff collaborate with families, fostering a sense of community, understanding that pivotal moments often unfold spontaneously—whether through words of encouragement, shared laughter, or collaborative problem-solving around the kitchen counter.
Additionally, each family is paired with a Selah Sister who serves as a supportive friend and guide.
-
We teach pregnant women and new parents how to take care of themselves and their babies.
Women learn parenting skills that equip them to support and love their children well.
We also help families recognize and heal from tough experiences so they can have a stable future.
-
Every woman in our program plans goals for herself.
Our Mothers Lead Support meets with each woman every week to work with her, find other resources, or teach her skills she needs to reach her goals.
We work on important topics or learn new skills like talking well, managing money, eating healthy, cooking, and more.
We have computers and information right here, so moms can work on their future plans without worrying about getting a ride or finding someone to watch their kids.
-
Each mom is connected with a Selah Sister, she creates a relationship with her paired mom and children. She keeps moms accountable and offers 1:1 peer support.
“I don’t know where I’d be without Selah, I don’t know where my baby would be. Thank you.”
Everyone deserves a safe community of love and support, with room to grow, nurture, be nurtured, and thrive. Be a part of that neighbourhood for Selah moms and become a monthly donor of any amount.
